I see KE on the base plate, lower right side

Spec sheet claims max recommended 4.625" bore. .300" cylinder wall thickness at that bore.

came with the old engine, so I’m not sure. But F-2 Speedy is right, KE is engraved on one side.

Hardin has them

Thanks SR24Dave. When I bought it, it didn’t really have a name and I needed one quickly for the transport. I guess you know the saying “A boat is a big hole in the water into which you throw money” I found that nailed it.

Great dedication, what you have accomplished so far is amazing with the obstacles you have to overcome. Keep up the great work, I look forward to seeing it complete and in the water. It looks like you have TRS drives with Borg Warner transmissions.

Two months lockdown later I got a police permit to cross state border and finally could see my boat again. Armed with a ton of new spare parts and tools I went to the workshop only to find that the neighboring factory had undergone a major renovation. They damaged parts of my roof and rainwater had entered into my air conditioned room where I sleep at night. Nobody around so instead of working on my engine I had to fix that and clean up the mess for the next two days.

To cheer myself up I started the port engine, just love the sound, reminds me why I´m doing this.
Before I headed home I made a video and posted it on YouTube:

Sounds real good

WOW!!!! What a great thread. Thank you for sharing. I cant wait to see it when its finished.

This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing and taking the time to post it all.

It's deceptive but it hardly looks like the you'd have enough clearance under those VC's to clear the rockers. Obviously you do but it's just deceptive looking..... Coming together, I bet you're getting excited
